Wall Street fell again Friday as even a gangbusters report on the U.S. jobs market couldn’t pull investors’ focus off their worries about Russia’s war on Ukraine.
The S&P 500 lost 0.8%. Stocks in Europe suffered even sharper losses after Russian troops seized a nuclear power plant in Ukraine that is the biggest in Europe.
Markets have swung wildly on worries about how much higher the war will push prices for oil, grains and other sources of inflation.
